[v2] drm/mediatek: Correctly free sg_table in gem prime vmap

[PATCH v2] drm/mediatek: Correctly free sg_table in gem prime vmap

Posted by Chen-Yu Tsai 11 months, 3 weeks ago

The MediaTek DRM driver implements GEM PRIME vmap by fetching the
sg_table for the object, iterating through the pages, and then
vmapping them. In essence, unlike the GEM DMA helpers which vmap
when the object is first created or imported, the MediaTek version
does it on request.

Unfortunately, the code never correctly frees the sg_table contents.
This results in a kernel memory leak. On a Hayato device with a text
console on the internal display, this results in the system running
out of memory in a few days from all the console screen cursor updates.

Add sg_free_table() to correctly free the contents of the sg_table. This
was missing despite explicitly required by mtk_gem_prime_get_sg_table().

Also move the "out" shortcut label to after the kfree() call for the
sg_table. Having sg_free_table() together with kfree() makes more sense.
The shortcut is only used when the object already has a kernel address,
in which case the pointer is NULL and kfree() does nothing. Hence this
change causes no functional change.

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wenst@chromium.org>
---
Please merge for v6.6 fixes.

Also, I was wondering why the MediaTek DRM driver implements a lot of
the GEM functionality itself, instead of using the GEM DMA helpers.
From what I could tell, the code closely follows the DMA helpers, except
that it vmaps the buffers only upon request.

The reason is that priv->dma_dev is different with drm_dev, so MediaTek
DRM driver have to implement its own function. Exynos DRM driver also
has this problem, so it's welcome anyone to simplify both DRM driver.

Changes since v1:
- Move "out" shortcut label to after sg_free_table() and kfree()
